Make Way for Tomorrow
He Tan Draft, vol. 1
Tomorrow after tomorrow, there are so many tomorrows.
Waiting for tomorrow, everything will be wasted.
The world is tired of tomorrow, and tomorrow will be infinitely experienced.
The faint water flows east and has fallen west since ancient times.
What will tomorrow be like in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.
translate
Always waiting for tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?
I've been waiting for tomorrow all my life, and I haven't made any progress.
The world is as tired of tomorrow as I am, and it will grow old after a year.
Only by living in the present can we realize the real life of watching the river flow in the morning and the sunset in the evening.
How many tomorrows can there be in a hundred years? Please listen to my song tomorrow.

Famous comments
Qian Yong: When the younger generation encounters anything, they will say, "I can't do it." This is also a big fallacy. I can do anything, but it's safe not to do it. Again, do one thing and say, "Wait until tomorrow." This is also a big mistake. I can do everything. If I follow blindly, I will make a big mistake in my life. So, Mr. Qian Hetan has the best song tomorrow. ?
Distinguish and appreciate
The meaning of this poem is simple and straightforward, without any metaphor. But it expresses a kind of ills that everyone has been trying to put an end to since ancient times. Many people regard "tomorrow" as an excuse to avoid problems that should be solved immediately, and let themselves be lazy until "everything is wasted". In fact, as the author said, "Tomorrow can become geometry in a hundred years", how many tomorrows can life actually have? The most important thing is not tomorrow, but seize the present.
